The Shredded Egg Crepe Kinshi Tamago (錦 糸 玉 子), are thin strips of egg crepe used in many Japanese dishes, and so here is the recipe to prepare them fresh!

Eggs are generally a very important element in Japanese cuisine, in fact there are many egg-based preparations and they are an element present in many dishes, just think of Ajitsuke Tamago, the egg with a creamy center that is served with ramen. Another example is the Atsuyaki Tamago (厚 焼 き 玉 子), the classic rolled omelette found in Bento or Maki sushi.

How To Prepare And Where To Use Shredded Egg Crepe And Usuyaki Tamago

Usuyaki Tamago

Let’s start from the beginning, the Shredded Egg Crepe are obtained from the Usuyaki Tamago, thin egg-based crepes that are used whole to enclose the Temari Sushi or thinly cut to obtain the Kinshi Tamago. The preparation of these thin Japanese egg crepes is really simple and requires very few ingredients, although there are some variations.

After trying the three most popular recipes, I decided to offer you the most classic, but I also write the variations. Eggs, mirin and a pinch of salt, that’s all. There is the variant with the addition of potato or corn starch which should make the crepe more elastic and resistant but after trying them I haven’t noticed significant differences. The third recipe involves adding dashi broth to give it extra flavor and I assure you this variation of Shredded Egg Crepe is really delicious!

Kinshi Tamago

Once you have cut the crepe, the Kinshi Tamago can be used in your Bento Box, or to eat with rice or sautéed noodles, or in classic Japanese dishes such as Chirashi, Hiyashi Chuka and many other dishes, or in other dishes of your imagination.

I have read that they can be prepared and frozen for about a month but they are so quick to do that I prefer to prepare them whenever I need them.
